  1. Fun Gun! Henry Repeating Firearms
  2. Fun gun!
  3. I have an OLD JC Higgins (Sears) 12 ga. pump; made by Mossberg. Not a great old gun. I am thinking about having the 28" barrel cut down to legal length for use as a home defense shotgun. I would like the opinions of TGO members about this idea as well as suggestions of good gunsmiths in the Nashville area. Thank you in advance for your feedback!
  4. Once a man walked up to his pastor and asked, "Do you believe in the doctrine of election?" The pastor replied, "Of course I do! God cast a vote for me and Satan cast a vote against me. Whichever way I vote, that's the way the election goes!" Think about it . . .
  5. Gee . . . I need to get my 12 ga., 9mm, 44 mag., .357 mag., and come to see you!
  6. Ruger SP 101 . . . revolvers never fail. Not being critical of automatics, but my Browning Hi-Power jammed at a critical time during the early '80's. Luckily I was able to clear the jam . . . in time for me. Have carried a revolver ever since.
  7. SP 101 or SW 686. WHY? Because revolvers NEVER jam. Was in a difficult position about 20 years ago when my auto jammed. Luckily, I cleared it and lived to talk about it. Since then NOTHING BUT A REVOLVER!
  8. Which is the better Ruger - 345 or the 90? Thanks for your feedback; I am a Ruger freak and will buy one or the other, so please do not respond with Ruger criticism. For those who like Rugers, I really want your feedback about which from above is the better firearm. Thanks
  9. THIS IS JR'S WEEKEND!!!
  10. As a father of two daughters, my joy joins yours!
  11. Mike: My mother smoked for 50 years; cancer found in her right lung in 2004. Brought her to Nashville from Chattanooga for surgery; they took the lower lobe of the lung. Then she had three months of chemotherapy; Mom was sick as a dog and lost all her hair. It is a humbling thing for a son to shave the last of his mother's hair off her head . . . Mom has done well, but the cancer reoccurred in November of last year. A lymph node was taken out in January of this year and then 25 days of radiation treatments in February. She was sick and weak from all of that, but is now doing better. The point of my story is for you to remember her experience. If you stop smoking, may it NEVER be your experience. I honestly and hopefully wish you the very,very best. God bless
  12. Glad U R here
  13. Congrats!!!!
  14. I had a friend who checked his Browning 9mm, which was "lost" upon arrival, never to be seen again . . . ship it to yourself. Don't take the chance!
  15. If anyone with a S&W wants a trigger job, their custom shop did an EXCELLENT job on my 686 and it was not expensive at all. Glad your job worked out so well.
  16. I have a 12 ga Franchi shotgun from the '70's that belonged to my deceased father. The gun is totally "locked up"; you cannot open the breech at all. Any ideas on what to do? I plan to see a gunsmith and see if it can be opened in preparation for selling it. Very, very hard to sell your Dad's guns . . . Thanks for some feedback.
  17. I am in the process of selling some of my late father's firearms; the ones I do not wish to keep. Hard to do . . . My dad had a Win Model 100 .308 that was supposed to be sent back to the factory for modification; I think it was a firing pin issue. Dad never sent it back. My question is: is the gun safe to sell? I will NOT put anyone at risk. Opinions, please, and thanks . . . selling your dad's guns is part of selling a part of yourself. Luckyforward
  18. In the midst of your stress, may you and your family feel a sense of peace, from which you will gain strength to sustain you . . .
  19. I could tell you were not going to throw a gun at her and let her go; if you are inclined towards a handgun for her, take her out and let her shoot a .22 and graduate up to a .38. If no comfort level for her in a handgun, go for a 20 ga. shotgun; single or double
  20. Whoops . .. not a Republican. Will I get shot if I come? Bet so . . .
  21. If your Mom has NO facility with firearms, buy her a 20 ga. double barrel; short barrel and SHOOT it with her until she is comfortable with it. Unless your mother - unlike mine - is willing to invest the time to practice placing a good shot, a shotgun is better self protection for her than a handgun.
  22. SP 101 is great
  23. I'd go with which ever one you feel the most comfortable shooting in terms of control and recoil
  24. Thanks. Your response supports my belief about the SP 101; is my main carry weapon and is the one I have trained my wife with.
  25. Unless you have some experience shooting a semi-auto and changing magazines, go for a revolver. I would recommend an SP-101; I don't mind carrying a larger revolver, so I carry a SW 686 2.5.
